Firstly , We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,
Given that , AB = AC and ∠B = 35°
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 35°
Now, ∠ADB = 90°Correct Option: D
Firstly , We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,
Given that , AB = AC and ∠B = 35°
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB = 35°
Now, ∠ADB = 90°
In ∆ADB , ∠ BAD + ∠ ABD + ∠ ADB = 180°
⇒ ∠ BAD + 90° + 35° = 180°
∴ ∠BAD = 55°
- If ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle with ∠C = 90° and AC = 5 cm, then AB is :

As per the given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,
In isosceles triangle ,
AC = BC = 5 cm
∴ AB = √AB² + BC²
AB = √5² + 5²Correct Option: C
As per the given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,
In isosceles triangle ,
AC = BC = 5 cm
∴ AB = √AB² + BC²
AB = √5² + 5²
AB = √50 = 5√2cm

if three altitudes are equal, then the triangle is called equilateral.
Correct Option: B
We know that in a triangle, if three altitudes are equal, then the triangle is called equilateral.
- In the given figure, DE || BC if AD = 1.7 cm, AB = 6.8 cm and AC = 9 cm, find AE.

Since DE || BC, We can use the formula,
∴ AB = AC AD AE
Correct Option: A
Since DE || BC,
∴ AB = AC AD AE ∴ 68 = 9 17 AE or , AE = 9 = 2.25cm 4
- The complement of 30°20′ is:

complement of 30°20′ = 90° – ( 30°20′ ) = 90° – ( 30° + 20′ )
= (89° – 30°) + (1° – 20′)Correct Option: B
complement of 30°20′ = 90° – ( 30°20′ ) = 90° – ( 30° + 20′ )
= (89° – 30°) + (1° – 20′)
= 59° + 60′ – 20′ [ ∴ 1° = 60°′]
= 59° + 40′ = 59°40′.
